living in israel they're supposed to be israeli citizens they felt like second class citizens before now what this law has done is they have legislated the legality of basic discrimination it's kind of hard to imagine that the israeli government when it would not have done this without some assurances that the trump ministration was going to look the other way i don't think they're going to come out in favor of this but obviously they thought there was not going to be the type of reaction that they might have had in a different situation i think moving the israeli capital from tel aviv to jerusalem which was a campaign promise of the president president trump that he followed through on definitely embolden the israeli government to do this but the problem is they've got two million palestinians there and they have legislated them into basic

non-citizen oblivion and the only way you're going to turn this around is with international outrage twenty four hours later that's not really happened rob let me ask you about some context in terms of the gulf region because obviously the u.s. is not the only country that has interests in links and connections with israel how do you think this is going to influence the politics in the movements within the more local region. well listen jared cushion our son in law the president as you know rob and senior advisor went around the gulf and was trying to put together this grand peace plan i think this move by the israeli government puts that only as sheep in history i don't know where they go with this as far as the gulf states are concerned it really if there is one potential outcome here it really sets up the young amir of qatar amir off really sets him up as

a potential broker of some sort of an agreement because you know he's got relationships the qataris have relationships with everybody right now and i think the saudis and you know be there at a different a much different position with this the other effect it's going to have is with prince. prince m.b.'s in in saudi arabia because he's not going to control as of yet from his eighty two year old father is father still in charge and his father is much more sympathetic with the palestinian cause than i think. prince m.b.'s is so i think it might delay the prince's ability to grab out absolute power there i think it's father's going to hold on a longer to see this through but it really sets the kotori government up here in order to be a major player in trying to figure out how this proceeds because you do have the fact you've got two million palestinians that have really been legislated into

permanent second clip as citizenry which is also going to push them closer to the palestinian organization closer to the p.l.o. because they've got no we're not to go i mean it's it's really is an unbelievable situation that is going on here and i really shot in twenty four hours with a lot. international outcry and these have been very tepid well let me ask you about these efforts that you're suggesting about finding some sort of solution to this obviously as you're suggesting that the cutout of amir would have a role to play in this but of course qatar itself is under blockade by saudi arabia and the u.a.e. and prince mohammed bin solomon in saudi arabia may find himself restricted as a result of that blockade as well is the blockade going to preempt any efforts that you are suggesting and in the scenario that you are putting forward to actually

find some sort of solution headed up by qatar. well look the good the blockading gang of four they're not going to really have a seat at the table here and what they get tories of proven through this blockade is competence in their government they figured it out their economy is better and there's an argument to the argument that i make in the gulf is that the tories as a people accept notwithstanding the humanitarian crisis of not being able to move and see your family in the different gulf states economically and systematically the cut a reason better off today than they were before the of bargo they've opened up trade routes they've opened up more relationships they have a new deep water port coming in they're getting crew ships coming in they're getting more goods on the shelves for their citizens at lower prices

and the competence of the government in figuring this out has been breathtaking so they're now in a position. to broker some sort of a agreement here between the palestinian people and the israelis and i think they're the i think the young amir there is going to have the credibility to be able to do that and i think he's got an opportunity now to go on the world stage for this interesting to get your point of view on this john fredericks thank you very much indeed. but more to still to come on al-jazeera more calls for protests along the gaza israel barrier fans as tensions rise over burning kites. the chinese movie that spring the government to make cancer medications cheaper. and tiger woods is back at the open championship after that three year absence will tell you how he got on in sport iraq.

permission to observe police operations so no gago reports from paris. i of violent attack want to protest is but the man isn't a police officer he's an example of an honor a former bodyguard and currently an aide to president mcconnell he was only given permission to observe the may day protest topple hosp says he was there and filmed the incident. i didn't recognize him at the time i thought i was filming an example of police brutality so i feel his face looked like he was worried about being recognized. and even the guy who was beating up on the floor those in proximity to power may fall under the illusion that they actually wield it and what should have happened here is that mr better lot also been reported to the police but he wasn't and that's left many opposition politicians saying that it is one rule for those

close to mr. and another rule for the rest. but not was suspended from jus t. for fifteen days but he was soon back working even accompanying the victorious french football team on the open top bus tour on monday the president has since been accused of a cover up he said little on the matter when asked by journalists on thursday really commenting that the french republic was steadfast and you know they were. leaving it instead to the prime minister to denounce banal as actions. that while he was authorised to observe he went beyond the status of the. geisha will allow us to look at how and why this happened. the incident has so far reflected badly on president michael he has been careful about cultivating an image of a dynamic youthful leader but for his detractors it is yet another example of

a president growing increasingly out of touch with that image something i go out jazeera paris. u.s. politics has long been dominated by two parties the democrats and the republicans but there are others including the left wing greens who think now is the time to capitalize on voter dissatisfaction with the big two they support greater access to education renewable energy non interventionist foreign policy and higher taxes on the rich twenty sixteen candidate joel stein is a lifelong environmentalist and political activist who's been a vocal critic of both major parties stein one barely one percent of the overall vote in the twenty sixteen election but she did take votes away from hillary clinton in several midwestern states which donald trump took by a razor thin majority because in saloons in salt lake city in the western state of utah where the green party convention is happening kristen we were just running through some of the policies there that the green party has but what makes it

distinct from the other parties. well i've been talking to a lot of the green candidates here at the university of utah today and they say they're just more progressive whether it's on issues of the environment or social justice or economic equality in this country but what really sets them apart they say is that they are not influenced by corporate donations like the two big parties are the democrats and the republicans of course the democrats are very concerned about green party candidates running in the upcoming midterm elections they refer back to the two thousand and sixteen presidential election which you talked about where jill stein took votes or earned votes in two very key states that many democrats feel hillary clinton might have won had she not been in the running of course the green see that very differently and to talk about that now i'm joined by a first time candidate for office for the green party adam davis who's running for

congress and utah's first district out of first of all thanks for being here and let me ask you why you decided to get into politics at this time and why with the green party. political involvement is more important than ever we've seen with the rise of donald trump we've seen a lot of people respond by getting more involved you see a lot of a lot of concern about some of the policies that are that are being implemented and politics only works when where or when people are a part of it and so that's why i think it's absolutely was absolutely critical for me and i think it's critical for others to get involved as well but why the green party and not the democrats say if you really want to oppose the policies of president trump well because i've been able to watch the democrats consistently fail to live up to the values that they say they do that's why i'm in the green party in the first place i grew up as a young person as as

a democrat and i came to the green party really because i saw i saw those those failures i saw democrats consistently. being one thing and doing another so moving forward to those critics who are worried about. two thousand and sixteen what would be your. what would your pitch be to what can you do different how can you really make change well i think we have to start by i mean a lot of people talk about you know taking votes and well obviously that's that's the idea is to take votes from the people you're running against that's that's why we run for office but i think i think it's more critical socially as a third party candidate to use my candidacy to bring new people into the process to reach out to voters who feel disenfranchised by the democratic and republican parties and people who are disenchanted with with the policies that are being implemented out and thank you so much for being here on this hot day in utah as you can see the green party is unapologetic in.
